Job 15:4 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.

Castest off fear - Hebrew, 'breakest'-reverence for God (Job 4:6; Psalms 2:11, "Serve the Lord with fear").

Prayer - meditation, in Psalms 104:34; Psalms 119:97; Psalms 119:99, devotion х siychaah (H7881)]. If thy views were right, reasons Eliphaz, that God disregards the afflictions of the righteous, and makes the wicked to prosper (Job 9:22; Job 12:6), all devotion would be at end.

Restrainest - dost detract from х wªtigra` (H1639)].

Job 15:4

4 Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
